What are the advantages of being alone?

Being alone means that I’m the only thing that matters. I don’t have to be responsible for someone else. I don’t have to deal with their emotions. I don’t have to watch my back for betrayal. I can just be me, and do as I wish.

If I want to sleep in until noon, so be it. If I want to eat all the food in the house, it’s my feast. If I want to go out and come home wasted at 4 in the morning, I don’t have to explain my actions.

I spent 3 years in a relationship, most of which I catered to my partner. Once she cheated and left, I became comfortable with being alone. I get to choose when I want to be among people. And do whatever I want. It’s fun.
